We went undefeated in 1909, but our local papers didn't award us a title.

Bama fell apart after we had some starters suspended due to the textbook bullshite (even though we did beat Tennessee the day the news came out).

So South Carolina does not even have a dubious claim. That is sad. We should create a word press at least arguing for one...

SC People, any year you think could be claimed (remember- going by most of those winning your conference or your bowl need not matter)

Why don't you people at least claim 1913?

The only other team to have a claim to 1913 is Harvard. Auburn played 8 games, finished 8-0 and gave up only 13 points all year with 6 shut outs. Auburn outscored their opponents 224-13.

Harvard finished 9-0, but only shut out 5 teams, and outscored their opponents 225-21.

Harvard said they would buy our college and close Auburn if we tried it.

That might have been the greatest Mississippi St. troll of all time. Good job.

The best part of the entire thread is the very first Barn reply was complaining about the 1941 championship lol.

Identity Crisis at it's finest.

Great job Tuscaloosa.

back in the '70s or '80s whenever it was that whoever it was that actually started the whole keeping up with the number of championships at bama. when he sat down and started looking at this i have to think he stuck '41 in as a needle to everybody else. you know a 'gotcha' kind of thing. obviously i have no idea nor have i ever seen an interview with him. but seriously, he had to be lol'ing every time he heard a comment about it.


now,to the argument about cfdwh vs ncaa site. if memory serves me right. about 6-7 years ago they went in the ncaa site and deleted a lot of the awarded championships. here again that memory thing, i think the ncaa site basically mirrored the cfdwh site. but somebody didnt like it so it got changed.

to me the only fair way is to include every single awarded nc for every single team. anything other than that means you are picking and choosing which always leads to bias. welp thats my 2cents worth.


to the op, great job man.

I'm not really sure about the history of the NCAA website. The premise of this thread was based around how everyone jokes about Bama claiming National Championships for anything for any reason (even though 1941 is really the only year we did that for). So, for fun I wanted to compile a list of every selector for every team throughout each team's entire history. For that purpose, CFBDW serves this thread a little better, IMO - because it includes pretty much every random selector imaginable.

This is actually a well-done thread, succinctly providing data in a visually easy to read format with some appropriate humor thrown in.

The usual suspects will HATE it though.

Good thread.
Bama will probably claim this as a National Championship.

Everyone knows some of those claims are outright ridiculous.
However, just like history, if you say something long enough it becomes true whether it is inaccurate or not.

Very interesting, thanks for putting that together.

Miss St and South Carolina truly are the Little 2.

Send MSU to the Big 12 for Oklahoma and South Carolina to the ACC for Clemson.

Which ones (outside of the obvious 1941)?
